Hot Art Take 

People mistaking innocent objects for art when in art galleries isn't proof of people's gullibility any more than people jumping to obvious numerical patterns rather than non-obvious ones isn't proof of their illogic. It's evidence that people contextualize their behavior based on their environment and experiences, and will project inner narratives onto external spaces given the chance to do so. People seek reasons to make meaning.

Marcel Duchamp is still an asshole, though.
